"Houston’s oldest Japanese restaurant and sushi bar will close on November 17. The Instagram page for the now-closed restaurant Shun Japanese Kitchen shared the news on Monday, October 21, stating that the Yoshida family, which owns Nippon, “expresses gratitude for the enduring support and affection from the community.” “It’s undeniable that without your support, there would be no stories, cherished memories, and enduring friendships,” they wrote. The Houston Chronicle reported that married couple Naomitsu and Emi Yoshida, who opened the trailblazing restaurant in Montrose in 1986, plan to retire following the closing. The restaurant was known for its menu of sushi and bento boxes, as well as its noodle soups." - Brittany Britto Garley
